A major international study has uncovered several new genetic clues tied to hyperemesis gravidarum, a debilitating form of pregnancy sickness once widely misunderstood. The USC team that recently identified the hormone-encoding gene GDF15 as a major driver of pregnancy sickness has now linked nine more genes to its most severe form, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Six […]

Scientists Discover Surprising Way Cranberry Juice Could Fight Antibiotic Resistance
Laboratory tests show cranberry juice may strengthen a common UTI antibiotic and reduce bacterial resistance. Urinary tract infections affect more than 400 million people worldwide each year, and some epidemiological studies suggest that over half of all women will experience at least one during their lifetime. Most UTIs are caused by harmful strains of Escherichia […]

Scientists Discover Metformin Doesn’t Work the Way We Thought
Scientists have uncovered evidence that metformin’s effects may begin in an unexpected place: the intestine. For years, researchers believed metformin, the most widely used medication for type 2 diabetes, worked mainly by reducing glucose production in the liver. However, a new study from Northwestern University using mice suggests the drug’s primary target is actually the […]
Tea or Coffee? Your Daily Choice Could Affect Osteoporosis Risk
A large osteoporosis study found that tea and coffee may affect aging bones differently. Could your daily drink be quietly affecting your bones? A major 10-year study of nearly 10,000 older women suggests the answer may depend on whether your cup contains tea or coffee. Researchers from Flinders University found that tea drinkers had slightly […]
